I put mine near the cliff to the ocean because it was very spacey and close to the beach ramp! However, it's very far from the default bridge so it's a bit of a pain for now, but I'm glad we're able to build a bridge ourselves!
I put my house right on the cliff by the ocean. It's kind of out in the middle of nowhere to be honest,lol. It probably would have been a better spot for a lighthouse.
